Transmedia/Genre : Rethinking Genre in a Multiplatform Culture
This book brings genre back to the forefront of the current transmedia trend.Genres are perhaps the most innately transmedial of media constructs, formed as they are from all kinds of industrial, technological and discursive phenomena.Yet, few have considered how genre works in a multiplatform context.This book does precisely that, making a uniquely transmedial contribution to the study of genre in the age of media convergence.The book interrogates how industrial, technological and participatory transformations of digital platforms and emerging technologies reshape workings of genre.The authors consider franchises such as Star Wars, streaming platforms such as Netflix, catch-up services such as ITV Hub, creative technologies such as virtual reality, and beyond.In setting the stage for the revival of genre theory in contemporary transmedia scholarship, this book pushes forward understandings of multiplatform media and the emerging form and function of genre across contemporary culture.

Genre
This second edition of John Frow’s Genre offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the area.Genre is a key means by which we categorize the many forms of literature and culture, but it is also much more than that: in talk and writing, in music and images, in film and television, genres actively generate and shape our knowledge of the world.Understanding genre as a dynamic process rather than a set of stable rules, this book explores:the relation of simple to complex genresthe history of literary genre in theorythe generic organisation of implied meaningsthe structuring of interpretation by genrethe uses of genre in teaching. John Frow’s lucid exploration of this fascinating concept has become essential reading for students of literary and cultural studies, and the second edition expands on the original to take account of recent debates in genre theory and the emergence of digital genres.

Whose Country Music? : Genre, Identity, and Belonging in Twenty-First-Century Country Music Culture
In a period in which racism and gender inequity are at the fore of public, political, and scholarly discourse, this collection challenges systems of gatekeeping that have dictated who gets to participate in twenty-first century country music culture.Building on established scholarship, this book examines contemporary issues in country music through feminist, intersectional, and post-colonialist theories, as well as other intertextual and cultural lenses.The authors pose questions about diversity, representation, and identity as they relate to larger concepts of artist and fan communities, stylistic considerations of the genre, and modes of production from a twenty-first century perspective.Addressing and challenging the received narrative about country music culture, this collection delves into the gaps that are inherent in existing approaches that privileged biography and historiography and expands new areas of inquiry relating to contemporary country music identity and culture.

Catherine Opie: Genre / Gender / Portraiture
Nearly four decades of work from the photographer who redefined the expression of gender in contemporary queer portraitureA leading voice in contemporary photography, Catherine Opie has been known for her portraits of the queer scene in California since the late 1980s.A fundamental element of Opie’s work is the observation of different gender performances through a critical revision of the genre of portraiture.Her photography emphasizes how portraiture has the power to both reinforce and deconstruct conventional and binary expressions of gender.The title of this publication and the MASP exhibition it accompanies is based on the double meaning of the word gênero in Portuguese, meaning both “gender” and “genre.”For her first solo show in Brazil, Opie enters into dialogue with the tradition of the portrait—a way of representing the human figure that dates to the 15th century in the West—producing an archive of diverse presentations of gender and sexuality.Around 60 photographs from her most iconic series are displayed alongside a selection of around 15 emblematic portraits from MASP’s collection.Strongly marked by figuration and the formal constraint of portraiture, the juxtaposition of these works accentuates the dialogues, tensions and reformulations that Opie’s photographic oeuvre proposes. Catherine Opie was born in Ohio in 1961 and is currently a professor of photography and the chair of the art department at UCLA.Opie’s work has been exhibited extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Japan.She has had solo exhibitions of her work at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; St.Louis Art Museum; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, among many others.
